i have never been this shaken

Always the gun hater in the group. I have had someone come into my house in the middle of the night and scared off from my alarm my neighbor when they to his house to rob him he said something and they beat him unconcious! Yeah Good thing I had a gun and likewise good thing he did also! maybe I can smack a theif across the forehead with a butter knife instead.......:

 

If there was someone in the house he would be!!!!

 

WOW, what a night, glad all appears to be well.

 

SP101 357 mag... snub nose..close AND personal....the only way you see the dragon belch is to be a threat to my family and or myself....or in my kitchen in the middle of the night. lol : ) ..lifetime member.
my 2 1/2 cents.

 

What were you using in the ceiling? Were your hangers in studs or in the drywall?

If they're just in the drywall, give something like this a try:
Shop Cobra 6-Count 3/16" x 2" Nylon 66 Reinforced with FibreGlass, and Zinc Aluminum Alloy Driller Toggle Screws and Bolts at Lowes.com

Those work just fine for me.

 

When I first started reading this I was thinking, Oh god - this guy freaked out at night and shot his tank. Glad everything is okay and your family is safe!!! I'd imagine the AI's have a warranty? If they do not work properly you can say they are faulty, just don't let them read this post!

Best of luck!

 

Wow! Be careful with your lights. I dropped one in a tank awhile ago without it even plugged in and it fried some of it. If you can, it might be worth sending them in to be checked out.

 

OMG I would of had a heartattack!!! Im glad the lights are still working this is like a fish tank owners night mare!

 

I am using the same thing (diff name) and was odd that it never engaged ( the hinge). Mine stayed straight and the screw just went straight up also. When i looked at the drywall, it was thick as hell ( fire retardant, i think) and at the end of the drywall there is a metal plate or something metal. This hangged over the ceiling under a bedroom.
The lights are up and just used some long screws and it might have hit a stud cause i can't wiggle it anymore.

 

If i send it def out of warranty. Inside was wet and even the power connector is now corrosed lol. But still works fine.
